Abstract excerpt
Single and multiple-trait GWAS were conducted to detect genomic regions and candidate genes associated with meat color traits (L*, lightness; a*, redness; b*, yellowness) in Nellore cattle. Phenotypic records of 5000 animals, and 3794 genotypes for 614,274 SNPs were used. The BLUPF90 family programs were used through single step GWAS approach. The top 10 genomic regions from single-trait GWAS explained 13.64%,...
